When it comes to ranking quarterbacks going into the 2014 fantasy football season, it doesn’t take an “expert consensus” to know which Holy Trinity stands out above the rest. In some order, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees will go 1-2-3 off the board in every reasonably sane league.

After them, however, it gets a lot more interesting. As if just figuring out the No. 4 quarterback wasn’t hard enough, when you start digging deeper, you will need to sort out a slew of sleepers.

In the seventh of our special positional preseason editions of The Decider, we’re here to help you figure out the toughest QB decisions in your upcoming draft.

Ben Roethlisberger or Andy Dalton? Big Ben and the Red Rifle both have alliterative nicknames and play in the defensively brutal AFC North. If you didn’t pay attention, Dalton finished No. 7 in QB scoring, and now he has an established pair of stud wideouts in A.J. Green and Marvin Jones. He may not get to 30 TDs again, but new Bengals offensive coordinator Hue Jackson’s focus on run setting up pass should help him cut down on that ugly giveaway total (23). Other than five fewer TDs (28 to 33), Roethlisberger’s yards and turnovers made him tight with Dalton.

We just think the Steelers’ personnel (Le’Veon Bell, LeGarrette Blount) and scheme (zone blocking) tailors them to be a stronger running team, which is what Mike Tomlin wants to be their identity to be anyway. We feel a little better shooting with RR than BB for that reason.
